               Appeal from the United States District Court
                   for the Middle District of Florida
                    _________________________

                          (November 7, 2008)

Before ANDERSON, MARCUS and HILL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
      Clarence W. Counts, counsel for Noel Rodriguez-Cervantes, has filed a

motion to withdraw on appeal, supported by a brief prepared pursuant to Anders v.

California, 

, 

, 

(1967). Our independent

review of the entire record reveals that counsel’s assessment of the relative merit

of the appeal is correct. Because independent examination of the entire record

reveals no arguable issues of merit, counsel’s motion to withdraw is GRANTED,

and Rodriguez-Cervantes’s conviction and sentence are AFFIRMED.
